to detect syntax errors, just try to run your plug-ina s a normal
Python program -
Syntax errors will be flagged normally - i the program is well formed,
it will fail with an import error
when trying to import gimp or gimpfu

As fro runtime erros, just watch the normal error output of GIMP on
the terminal.
(the good news is taht for fixing these errors, you just have to
re-run the plugin from inside GIMP<
no need to reinstall or relaod anything).
